We believe that the Bible is the infallible Word of God and serves as the guide for all that we do. Our calling is to be a catalyst for revival for the inner city of Memphis. A movement that will literally change the entire city.

2 Our Focus Miracle of Redemption Outreach Ministry s heartbeat is Evangelistic in nature, with a focus on discipling and training new Christians. Additionally, we operate a variety of programs to provide food, clothing, and outreach to hungry and hurting people. Many years ago as a young boy I made the biggest decision I had ever made in my life or have made since. That decision was to ask Jesus to forgive me of my sin and place my trust in Him and come into my life. I gave my heart and life to Jesus at that time. Over the years God has used many great and Godly people in my life to teach, mentor, disciple, encourage and challenge me to grow in His grace and become more like Jesus. About five years ago God introduced me to another special and Godly man, that man was Bro. Ronnie. As I watched the faithfulness of my brother, Ronnie, The Holy Spirit began to challenge me in ways unlike never before. One of those ways is the sharing of the love of Jesus with others. Telling others about the greatest gift of all, the gift of eternal life. A couple of weeks ago Bro. Ronnie asked me to join him as he went into the Nutbush neighborhoods to tell people about Jesus. Together we had the great privilege of sharing the love of Jesus with others, saw the Holy Spirit at work and saw several dear people pray to invite Jesus into their heart and life. What a Mighty God that we know and serve, full of mercy and full of grace!!! Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are we saved through faith,,,,,,,, Jeff L. Arnold I am too corrupted to be saved Ronnie Johnson This young lady said to me, that she was too corrupted to be saved. I told her that if God would save me He can save anybody. 1Timothy 1: 15 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation, that Jesus Christ came into to save sinners, who I am chief. One of these young ladies gave her heart to Jesus, and sad to say the other one (second from the right) walked away rejecting Christ.

4 Summer Day Program & Testimonies Our Tactical Initiatives Summer Day Program for Kids ages 4-18 years Fall after School Program Pizza and Food Ministry Seminary Street Evangelism Ministry every Monday and Thursday Jordan Kent: I originally came to the Miracle of Redemption camp to volunteer for one day and To see what the needs were in my own community. I had absolutely no intent of Coming every single day. In just that one day that I came Pastor Ronnie, all the Staff, and the kids made me feel so welcome that I was almost overwhelmed by all The love that I was receiving. I asked Pastor if he would mind if I came and Volunteered on occasion and he told me, "Sister, you're welcome here any time, The kids are so used to people walking in and out of their lives all the time That they need some consistency." When he told me that I went home and prayed And asked God if his desire was for me to be there every day, if I could be some Consistency in their life, if I even had the time. I knew they needed help, but To me it's much more than that, if I can change one person's life at camp this Summer then it's all worth it, I thought. So, the next day I decided I was going To go back to the church and ever since it's one of my favorite places to be! Since I've been coming my perspective on life has changed and it's so much Easier for me to pray in all circumstances and I know that I will always have The staff to confide in. I've been growing with the Lord in ways that I never Thought I would and have been forced to step out of my comfort zone. For me, Serving with your whole heart is where the true satisfaction is in life and I

5 Hope to take my experience this summer with me to college and hopefully be able To come back and help with the camp next summer too! Destiny Burks: This summer at camp I have learned a lot more about God and I feel that I have gotten a closer relationship with God. I have learned to have humility and put my needs to the side and put other people needs before mine. I have learned to become bold in my faith and to share the word with others my age and younger. I was really happy to be able to work with children ages 4-6 who were willing to always learn something new and who keeps me going all day! I feel that God speaks through me to other people at camp and I know when I need words of encouragement or when I am feeling down I can always count on the other volunteers here along with God to help me get along with my day. This camp has been a blessing to my family and I.

6 Michael Wilburn: This has been the most exiting summer ever at the camp. I've enjoyed getting to Know the staff and love the fellowship and the encouragement they give. I Enjoyed teaching some of the children and helping them to memorize scripture. The Lord placed me under Pastor Ronnie's leadership and has worked powerfully Through him all summer. While I've been here I've grown spiritually and our Father in heaven has used these things to help grow me more as an effective Leader. Each day has had its own challenges, but through Christ who strengthens Us we have persevered. Glory and praise to God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit (Philippians 4:23). A Word from Brother Ronnie Johnson, Thank you for your love, prayers and support. We could not be the ministry that God has called us to if it wasn t for your faithfulness to pray and support us. God is allowing us to see things that you can t buy for a million dollars. People are being saved and lives are being changed. We are seeing dope dealers, drugs addicts, alcoholics, and women being saved from off the streets. Since January we had 146 services, 212 professions of faith, and twelve baptisms. I must say, ministry is very hard and exhausting. Miracle of Redemption Outreach is a faith ministry, and we depend on the Lord every step of the way. We are asking God to touch the hearts of his people to partner with us. We need help to reach our city and our community with the gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We are so thankful for God s provision but ask that you to continue to pray that God will meet our personal needs. We currently need a transmission for our church van that cost $1,200 and $800 for our church bus to be fixed. There are always expenses related to the up keep of the facility that God has given us. Hebrews 10: 23 Hold fast to your profession without wavering, because He who promise is faithful. Please continue to pray for Rhonda and my health. Please pray for our finances Please pray for volunteers for our after school learning center. Please pray for funds for a part time staff member. Please pray for our church van and bus to be fixed Please pray for help with some of our building repairs Please pray for consistent contributions ($8,000/month) to enable us to carry out the day to day work of the Ministry Until His Return, Bro.
